Under the Whitelist your IP Addresses section, specify the IP Addresses from where you will be making API requests and then click the Save whitelisted IP addresses button.

IP ranges and netblocks are not accepted.

Testing / Trying out the API

The HTTP API requires that all requests to retrieve data should use the GET method and requests that submit, change, or destroy data should use the POST method. Requests that require a particular HTTP method will return an error if you do not make your request with the correct method.

However, to make it easy for you to try out and test the API using the browser or command line tools, we have made available a special Test URL that allows you to make any request using the GET method. Example Test URL requests are provided for all API requests.

The Test URL

https://test.httpapi.com/

Note

The Test URL should only be used for trying out or testing the API via the browser/command line tools and should not be used in production environments.

We always recommend usage of a Demo Account Reseller Id and Password with the Test URL for authentication as against usage of your Live Account credentials. Usage of your Live Account credentials, even with the Test URL, will result in actions being performed in production environments.
